Excellent. I would much rather see Sprint and Tmobile start sucking subs out of bigred and deathstar, than seeing Sprint and Tmobile battle against each other.

They need to partner up against the big two.

Very Interesting! Good Information!

Entrepreneurs ask the question, why not? I came here and said, “Our pricing—it’s completely out of whack. We have lost relevance. Nobody wants to buy a Sprint phone.” I said, “Why don’t we do leasing?” My whole team said, “We’ve got to test it in the market, make sure our systems work at 100 percent,” etc. And I said, “We’re going to launch it in four days with no testing, and we’re going to figure it out as we go.” You follow your gut. You know that if you can make it cheaper for consumers to have the latest iPhone 6, consumers are going to jump. It doesn’t need to be analyzed by 100 people 50 times over. You can launch things being 70 percent right. They don’t need to be 100 percent right.

 

hah that is awesome

I love that article, speaks to a new Sprint.

[CAREND]

Anyone else on the old ED1500 get a fedex letter from Sprint about unlimited minutes and qualifying for the $5 phone lease?  Weird getting a letter, obviously pre printed and not personal, without a sprint envelope and in a fedex envelope and from Marcelo Claure.

Seems like a good way to keep customers who are on legacy plans from leaving and getting them to upgrade to new triband phones.

It is awesome. To imagine, they over analyzed the framily plan backwards and forwards and weren't able to prevent its logistical pitfalls or see that it wasn't going to attract customers who weren't willing to rep sprint and ride the hamster wheel.

Flip side, I don't like flash pan "ending soon!" gimmick, but our average wireless buyer of late has been conditioned to see failure when there are no "fire sale" prices. (Insert: ATT's snatching their 15gb/$100 offer after just two weeks.. Oh Randall)

I didn't, but my mother did and she felt special since it was FedEx'ed. Oh the gimmicks people fall for.

Thinking like an entrepreneur rather than a bean counter.  This is just what Sprint needed.

Sprint beat T-Mobile in data in Indy and they don't even have full 8T8R deployment. 

 

Also, 

 

 

Sprint’s median download speed increased from 6.2 Mbps to 11.0 Mbps since May, and Sprint’s median upload speed increased from 4.6 Mbps to 7.1 Mbps.

Also,

 

I wonder how these test results would change if they did more indoor tests. I think T-Mobile would sink, sprint might even take a hit.

Indy is no joke. I was there in August and was blown away by the coverage.

It gets better every day. If more cities were like Indy, Sprint would be in an entirely different position.

Good news indeed though Karl Bode is such a joke of a blogger.

To be fair....my dad would also feel special if he got a Sprint ad in fedex.

Fedex = important

 

Maybe Sprint had pre-purchased x amount of fed-ex labels and had to use them before the end of year?

[Johnner1999]

Oh boy....

I admire him for voicing a strong pro-consumer opinion, not letting corporate interests dilute it. His site's been around for 15+ years, lots of good reports in the archive.

Indeed, and I've been a member over there for over 10 of those years. However, his incessant T-Mobile cheerleading has frankly become rather unconscionable IMHO.

He has done a nice job showcasing AT&T's "Fiber to the press release" roll out.

Mmkay...   

 

But yeah sure he has, and he's done the same to CenturyLink, Cox and other ISPs who have issued similar press releases. To my point, he seems to have no problem taking most all companies and agencies to task which makes it all the more glaring that he gives T-Mobile a perpetual pass.

[Johnner1999]

This to me seems impressive and more beneficial at 700mhz than b41 at 2600mhz.
